Ps I have mentioned before that I love the name sephy for a girl (short for Persephone or...?) and that's quite like zephy, innit Grin

BlackholesAndRevelations · 03/11/2013 20:43

Hahahaha SoupDragon - an actual animal!

Has anyone else got a red hot chili peppers song in their heads? "fly away on my zephyr, I feel it more than ever. And in this perfect weather, we'll find a place together...."

Jumpalina · 03/11/2013 19:02

Love it! I love that you love it so much too given your previous threads!

Zephyr Gene
Zephyr Tate
Zephyr Cole
Zephyr Jack
Zephyr Kirk

Personal favourite is Zephyr Gene. Sufficiently different to the G in your surname.

The only zephyr I know is 40. He has it pronounced zef-fire, not zef-ur. Might be something to consider as I would automatically pronounce it the same way also

ChippingInLovesAGoodBang · 03/11/2013 18:42

I think you need to go for an unusual middle name. The 'normal' names just look like you weren't confident using a 'different' name. I think Caspian & Fox are both quite good.

KatherinaMinola · 03/11/2013 18:33

Also, given that it's the name of a Greek god, I don't think it would sound toooo bad on a high court judge...

KatherinaMinola · 03/11/2013 18:32

How totally crazy - I was thinking about just this name while out in the park this morning (probably because it was windy) and thinking what a cool name it was!!

For the sound, I like Zephyr Cain, but that has unfortunate connotations. I agree a one-syllable name would be best. The Biblical names go quite well, because Zephyr sounds a bit Biblical, even though it's Greek.

SoupDragon · 03/11/2013 18:28

Zephyr Fox sounds like an actual animal. Like Arctic Fox only windier.

It was just part of the criteria,not about this name particularly.

And I don't expect I will...DP hardly ever has a problem with his very unusual girls name.

Floggingmolly · 03/11/2013 17:43

Why did you feel the need to clarify it's a real name in your op?
I imagine you'll be doing that quite a lot, and so will your ds.

HappyJustToBe · 03/11/2013 17:42

My first thought was James, as well.

taffleee · 03/11/2013 17:41

I have to say, just read ' frost' and thought awesome - Zephyr Frost, Cracking name xx

rockybalBOOOOa · 03/11/2013 17:40

Robin!

KateShmate · 03/11/2013 17:38

Or sticking with the nature theme - Zephyr Bear is pretty cool too!
